Synopsis
Long ago the Eldric mysteriously disappeared from the land, shortly after the Krell Wars, Drachar’s shade was finally banished from the world. Perhaps they believed the threat was gone, but they took with them sorcery, the only effective means of defeating demons. Then came the Prophecy and only one thing is certain, Drachar’s shade will one day return. Against this backdrop three men seek what became of the Eldric. Vastra, recklessly ambitious and driven by greed for power, harbours a secret which he is prepared to kill to protect. His companions, Kaplyn and Lars have their own reasons for helping, but who will succeed? Vastra seeks an Eldric talisman and the journey is fraught with peril. There are clear signs that demons are once again seeking souls. None of the men realise the train of events they are about to set in motion will affect three worlds. All will not be as it seems. One man will betray them and yet salvation will come from an unlikely source…

Review
David Burrows’s interest in fantasy began with The Lord of the Rings. Inspired by the epic tale he put pen to paper, determined to create a story with bold characters and an intriguing plot. In Legacy of the Eldric he has certainly achieved his aim; the characters are memorable and the plot is fast-paced and exciting. It is an opening chapter in a series that I look forward to reading the mid and end parts to. This is solid fantasy; exactly what a fantasy doctor would order for those looking for an enjoyable escape from reality... fans of Tolkien, Hobb and Moorcock will love what they find here. Definitely recommended. (8/10 stars), http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/David-Burrows/Legacy-of-the-Eldric.html/
